Burbank spineless prickly pear cactus, grown for reptiles such as tortoises. Number of leaves: 2 or more. The number of leaves will be determined based on weight and box capacity. If you would like two large leaves or more small leaves, please comment. However, the weight is limited to 1 kg. Size: Fits multiple leaves in a Mercari-exclusive Nekopos cardboard box (310 x 226 x 30mm). *See packing reference photos. ◆ The spines have been removed for easy handling. ◆ Since it is pesticide-free, it can be given immediately. For small baby turtles, cut it up before feeding. ◆ The thick, nutrient-rich leaves are also ideal for propagation. We recommend cost-effective propagation on your own. ◆ Since it is a set of multiple leaves, you can use one for "immediate feeding" and another for "propagation." It has few spines, is soft, and tastes good, so it is a variety of edible vegetable in Mexico. It will curl if kept in a place without sunlight, but it can be stored at room temperature for a month. It can be used as food for tortoises and herbivorous/omnivorous reptiles, and it can also be used for cultivation, as it can overwinter outdoors in warm regions west of the Kanto region (where the minimum temperature is only a few degrees below freezing per year). From spring to autumn, dry the cut end of the leaf thoroughly (for about 5-10 days) and insert about 1/3 of the leaf into the soil to promote rooting. The type of soil does not matter as long as it has some drainage. The growth after rooting is extremely fast, as it has been improved for eating; one new leaf grows in 3 months, and another new leaf grows in the same way in another 3 months. As the plant grows larger, multiple new leaves can grow at the same time, so its propagation power is immeasurable. You will understand its economic benefits if you try propagating it by leaf cuttings. The "plant photo" shown in the image is about 3 years old after being planted in a flower bed, and it has been harvested during that time. It requires little care, and fertilizer and watering are hardly necessary; water it if it hasn't rained for more than 2 weeks and the soil is dry. If there are new leaves at that time, you will realize that they grow rapidly overnight. After planting in a flower bed, you can achieve self-sufficiency of the prickly pear cactus with only weeding.
